Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)

Our farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our communities, & across the West, they have warned of the devastating impacts of a potential screwworm invasion in the U.S. Well, the first reported case is here with a screwworm fly found on a calf in TX. We will do everything we can to support them!

To all the survivors out there – we believe you, we support you, and we are here for you. ❤️ Hope lives here with New Mexico’s Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, Enlace Comunitario, the New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and Community Against Violence.

A subpoenaed witness was allowed to appear voluntarily. No oath. No cameras. “I don’t recall” on repeat. And when we asked about Donald Trump and his administration, DOJ attorneys stepped in to shut it down. This wasn’t a hearing. It was structured to shield the truth.

THIS ⬇️ is what’s happening to the White House right now—The People’s House: Partly demolished, partly thunderdrome, 100% not ok

Congress issued a legally binding subpoena, & Pam Bondi chose not to comply. Instead of appearing for her sworn deposition she sat for a voluntary interview where DOJ attorneys stepped in to block answers. American people deserve the truth, survivors deserve justice, and Congress deserves answers.

🚨‼️ Breaking News! ‼️🚨 Huge win in the courts today to stop Trump’s $1.8B illegal slush fund. I’m here with Skye Perryman of @democracyforward who sued to stop the fund—to explain. ⬇️

Back in DC ready to question Pam Bondi on her role in the Epstein case. What we want to know: who are they shielding and why? Even though Republicans have blocked video in the room—stay tuned as we take on this long day together.

FINALLY get to hear from Pam Bondi tomorrow on the Epstein Case—except the public won’t see or hear a single thing. Republicans who control the Committee unilaterally decided: NO cameras. NO video recordings. NO sworn oath. NO deposition. No matter what roadblocks they throw at us—we will not stop.

What a day — traveling the district! Thank you to everyone who showed up and spent time with us!! And pro-tip if you’re traveling across NM—it’s always good to stop at Clines Corners, and you might even run into friends like we did from down south! 💛❤️

Good Morning New Mexico! We’re on the road in the East Mountains and Santa Rosa this morning, meeting with local leaders and the community. And, celebrating some big national wins in protecting voting rights in AL and SC!

Making the government more efficient doesn’t have to be partisan - it should be something every Member of Congress can support! And that’s why I teamed up with Rep. Tim Burchett on a bipartisan bill to make sure your taxpayer dollars are actually being used effectively and responsibly!

This week, we caught up with Sam Barncastle, the new director of the Family Farm Alliance and a 7th-generation farmer from Mesilla, NM—chile capital of the world! 🌶️—to talk water and ag. She was here to rep our farmers, ranchers, and talk about how we get through this drought! Keep making us proud!

Choice words coming from the same man dragging us into illegal wars, covering up the biggest sex scandal in American history, and trying to spend taxpayers' dollars on a $1 billion ballroom. Let’s be real here—the projection is coming from inside the house. The White House, that is.

New Mexicans are struggling right now while this Administration is robbing taxpayers & bleeding Americans dry.  Our families are exhausted & hopeless—& deserve leadership that actually cares about them and the future. Which is why I am working every single day to make sure they’re taken care of!

One thing is certain—abuse by Epstein and Maxwell did happen at Zorro Ranch. And—we will not stop until there is justice for survivors.

Mr. Speaker—Bullying trans kids: -Won’t end this war -Won’t address the economy -Won’t make us more free It will only hurt our kids. Which is why we are a HELL NO on this bill!

So…Republicans are attacking trans kids to “protect women” while blocking our nation’s first-ever Smithsonian dedicated to Women’s history?  Make it make sense. @balint.house.gov

So joyful to see my State House Rep, the one and only Rep. Pamelya Herndon today in Washington, DC. So grateful for her leadership on infrastructure, public safety, protecting children & families, & advocating for survivors of domestic violence! Thank you for your amazing leadership in New Mexico! ❤️

The Epstein cover-up continues. This time? Trump is targeting members of his own party who have supported survivors and the release of the files. Why? They don’t want whatever they’re hiding to come out—and they’re going after those who get in the way. We won’t stop until justice is served!

Good Afternoon Montgomery! We’re here in the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement to organize and mobilize on this day of action. Because, we may be knocked down, but we are not knocked out. And, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK! #BlackVotersMatter #ProtectVotingRights #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Today, I rise to support our veterans and the brave men and women who have served this country. And I rise to say hell no to the privatization of the VA! ✊🇺🇸

Here to talk Voting Rights with @menefee.house.gov of TX-18! Texas was the was the testing ground for Republican gerrymandering last year—now they’re trying to do the entire South. That’s why we have to mobilize, organize, show up, speak up, and speak out!

Yeah, no. This is just blatantly racist. Inexcusable. You should not be serving in Congress if you think this is acceptable. Period.

Epstein Survivor hearing happening in West Palm Beach now. We stand with survivors.

This week the Secretary of Interior will appear before Congress. And you better believe we’ll be asking hard questions. There’s a lot of ground to cover. But, the failure to meet the most basic Trust and Treaty responsibilities to Tribes is absolutely at the top of the list. ⬇️

Happy Mother’s Day! To all of the moms and mother figures out there—I hope you have a beautiful day! We celebrate you! Today, I am thinking about my mom & all the humble and fearless women on whose shoulders we stand. To all missing your moms today—you are not alone, & I am sending so much love. ❤️

Next week we are headed into the belly of the beast—to hear directly from survivors. West Palm Beach, FL, was not only a testing ground for Epstein’s abuse of survivors, but the system itself. He rigged the system to escape justice for decades. A system he replicated in NM and Zorro Ranch.

Whether in New Mexico or DC, I am always working for our people and fighting for our democracy! Grateful for the brilliant staff and interns who help serve NM-01 every day and to share this piece made by Lily this week! ❤️

Fridays in ABQ are for… -Planting our Community Garden -Visiting Old Town -Checking out Tingley Beach -Going to the Bosque -Going to the River -Preparing for another big week in DC next week! #NewMexicoTrue

After years of advocacy, the new To’Hajiilee Community School is finally becoming a reality! Honored to help secure $90 million alongside Secretary Deb Haaland, Rep. Paulene Abeyta, Tribal leaders, educators, students, and community members who made this possible! Go TCS Warriors! ✨

We’re back on the road this morning to To’Hajiilee to celebrate the groundbreaking of their new community school! Securing $90 million for this school is one of our most meaningful wins! Updates on Oversight yesterday with Howard Lutnick and our field hearing in Palm Beach next week with survivors.

Good morning from Tomé and Valencia County! We’re back on the road this morning, meeting with local leadership and the community and hearing from all of you. If you’re out and about in Valencia, come see us! ❤️

Another beautiful day on the road in New Mexico!!! Thank you Roswell, Ruidoso, Mescalero, Carrizozo, Lincoln and Chaves Counties for a beautiful couple of days! 💕

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🎉

We’re here in Roswell kicking off our Southern District tour! Today we visited the New Mexico Military Institute and Youth Challenge Academy and loved meeting with cadets, students, teachers and staff and hearing your hopes for the future! We’re so grateful for what you’re doing to build our future!

Back in ABQ with some exciting news! This year our office is sponsoring a community garden at the Los Ranchos Agri-Nature Center! Celebrating ag in our community and a home for local wildlife and some new furry friends (watch until the end!)—if you’re in the North Valley, come stop by! 👩‍🌾🌱❤️

We know there are difficult days ahead—but we must continue to keep showing up as generations have before. Especially, in the wake of this week’s Voting Rights decision. (1/3)

You can cut me off—but you cannot silence us! Even as the Supreme Court has dealt a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act—we will continue to organize, mobilize, and push forward—just as generations have before us!

Yesterday SCOTUS gutted enforcement of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. There’s a lot to unpack. Here with @repscfigures.bsky.social of AL-02 to talk about what it means, especially in the South, and what comes next ⬇️

No one is above the law. Not Pam Bondi. Not Todd Blanche. Not Donald Trump. And certainly not the Epstein predators they’ve been shielding.

Stop gaslighting the American people—with this Big Ugly Rule. We. Will. Vote. No!

The Epstein survivors are changing the world. Even as institutions have failed—they have inspired millions with their courage! Proud to stand in this fight.

My hot takes on the King’s address to Congress 👑🏛️⬇️

Are we going to have fair elections this Nov.? Virginia is doing its part! As Rep.McClellan explains, they didn’t start this fight, but they’re ready to finish it. Here’s what’s going on with last week’s redistricting vote. ⬇️

New Mexico is making waves! 🎉   So proud to pass our Albuquerque Indian School land transfer and Downwinder bills out of committee unanimously this past week!  This is what getting it done for NM looks like!

“Totally exonerated”…..riiiiight. 👀 #ReleaseTheFiles

Meet our DC spring interns—Abhi, Sumaia, Andrew, Jaden, and Dana!   From tackling legislation to supporting our constituents, our interns are at the heart of our work—and we are so grateful for everything do! ❤️ If you’d like to intern in our office, apply here: stansbury.house.gov/services/int...

We had some major wins this week—including killing this terrible, egregious ESA bill. Because protecting our planet, our wildlife, and the places we call home is a moral imperative. Proud to be on the front lines with Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández!

Just leaving this right here. #25thAmendment

Republicans have pulled their dangerous, egregious bill gutting the Endangered Species Act (ESA) from the House Floor 🎉 Happy Earth Day! 🌎

There are just two ways to remove a President—Impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Here’s the political reality of what’s going on and why the GOP is failing to act. ⬇️
